For this card, I used a sentiment from the newly released "Many Thanks" set.

I paired it with this cute little pencil from Smiley Cards Cricut Cartridge which was a download for the Gypsy. I used all the layers and then added a small strip of silver cardstock that I ran through my Cuttlebug with the Candy Cane Stripes embossing folder. I added a cute face from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-294 The Cornies 1 1/8.

For my card I used a sentiment from the newly released Scrappy Moms Stamps "Blast from the Past!" This particular sentiment reminded my of the 80's and I just had to use it.

I used the Rock Princess Cricut cartridge and did a little paper piecing to get the pieces I wanted to use. I cut her face, arms, and legs out of white then used my Copics to color her skin. Her face is from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-112 Cherub Faces Assortment.

I placed my girl on a frame that was cut from the Stretch Your Imaginations Cricut cartridge. This is an oldie but a goodie!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Today I have another card made with the newest Scrappy Moms Stamps release, "Blast From the Past!"

This was a super quick and simple card to put together. I used the mustache stamp that comes in this set to create a background. I heat embossed it but I think I will use different cardstock next time. I think this one had too much texture.

I cut a mustache from Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge and embossed it with D'Vine Swirls Cuttlebug Embossing folder.

I added a few brads and stamped my sentiment also from "Blast from the Past!"

Shop Pumpkin Spice is an on-line scrapbooking store that carries all the wonderful lines of papers, embellishments, and stamps that we love and, best of all, everything is priced at least 30% off retail! Gotta love that!

The Shop Pumpkin Spice store has just stocked up on a lot of Echo Park papers and I fell in love.

If you got here from the super talented June's blog: Simply Elegant Papercrafts then you are in the right place. If you just happened upon my blog and want to start from the beginning then head on over to the Pumpkin Spice Blog. We don't want you to miss a thing!

With the exception of the ribbon, everything to create this card can be purchased at Shop Pumpkin Spice. I highly recommend that you take a moment to browse this wonderful on-line store. There is so much to choose from and the prices are some of the lowest on the internet.

I used Momento Rich Cocoa Ink and stamped the dolls on Kraft cardstock that comes in the Peachy Picks Kit. I decided to paper piece their clothing. All the pattern paper is included in the Peachy Picks kit, also. For a little shine to their eyes, I added some Ranger Glossy Accents.

The twine that is added to the top of the post note holder is from the February Peachy Picks Kit. It works perfectly with the color palette of the this months kit.

Here's a picture of the inside.

Here are the basic measurements to make your own post note holder:

For the base cut your cardstock to 3 1/4 inches by 7 1/2 inches.

On the long side score at 3 1/2 inches and 4 inched

For my layers I cut them at 3 inches by 3 1/4 inches and my patterned paper at 1/8 inch smaller than the solid.

To attach the post it, I just used my ATG on the back.

Use your favorite Peachies to decorate!

If you haven't checked out Peachy Keen Stamps newest release then head on over the the STORE. You are going to LOVE them.

I'm back with another post today. To see my Pumpkin Spice post click -->HERE

As you know this week the Peachy Keen Stamps designers have been giving you lots of peeks of the new July Stamp of the Month and add ons. Today is no exception except, that later on this evening you will finally get to see the whole reveal. Aren't you excited!!

The card I created for you today was so fun for me to put together!

Isn't this little guy ca-ute!! I just love him! I used the the July Stamp of the Month and the new Peachy Pics Kit to create this card.

This little boy was colored with Copics and also paper pieced.

The sentiment is part of the July Stamp of the Month along with this cute face. I love that Kathy creates several faces to go with each stamp set!

Don't for get about the release party over on the Peachy Keen Connection starting this evening at 7 PM est. I hope to see you all there.

This card came together quite quickly. I started with a sentiment from My Pink Stamper "Girlie Sayings." The sentiment kind of put this card in motion for me.

Next was choosing the papers that I wanted to use. This was quite easy since I am in love with this My Mind's Eye Indie Chic "Ginger" papers. You can purchase just the sheets you want or get a 6x6 pad.
